Description
Venue: Oamaru Opera House. “Politicians, Policies, and everyone in between; James Nokise’s here to skewer them all.” There are three things you can count on this election years: Ministerial soundbites that age like milk, policy walk-backs hours after announcements, and James Nokise having hot comedic takes on the chaotic campaigns around the country. One Night Rant returns in 2026 with a new hour of frenetic, furious, funny stand-up aimed at politicians across the spectrum – no party or policy is safe. Book early, this is the one show where the news cycle does half the research for a night of comedy, catharsis, and fist-shaking, boot-stomping fun. Twice Billy T-nominated, Fred Award for Best TV Show (God Damn Fancy Man, 2019), Best Male Comedian at the NZ Comedy Guild Awards and Topp Prize (2024), creator and host of 3 RNZ podcast series, including The Last Voyage of the Rainbow Warrior – Best Documentary at the 2025 NZ Radio Awards and Best International Podcast at the Asia Podcast Awards.
